techknight Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2020 #1 Is the icon picker outdated? I am looking for a broadcast tower icon and its not showing up in the icon picker. but If I go to fontawesomes website, under free, and search for it there, its there: Tower Broadcast Filled Icon (Classic Solid) — Free SVG Download | Font Awesome Download the Tower Broadcast filled icon as a free SVG or PNG. A bold Classic Solid style icon for web and app projects. fontawesome.com any ideas?

DonManfred Expert Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2020 #2 the icon is added in Version 5.0.13 of fontawesome. Guess b4a is using an older release You can see a list of all included icons in FontAwesomeList.txt in the B4A Folder Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2020 #3 The new version of FontAwesome is not backward compatible. You can however add it as an external font. I've created a picker for a new version of material font: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-materialicons-web-font-chooser.103985/ It shouldn't be too difficult to modify it to work with other fonts, though you can also use external fonts without any picker.

techknight Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 16, 2020 #4 Ok. yea I was trying to look through the picker and browse the symbols without knowing the unicode, and from there pick the unicode. I am thankful for the fact that the fontawesome site shows the unicode. Combining that with what you posted above and applying it as a custom font works. Upvote 0
